LAKEVILLE — Kim Hill, a member of the Captain Wolf music group (www.captainwolfband.com) will host Tom Hanlon and Leslie Bryant on Thursday, Feb. 28 at her monthly event "The Mix 'N' Music."

Tom Hanlon has been a frequent contributor to the local music scene. His solid songwriting, smooth vocals, and lovely guitar playing make him a "triple threat," Ms. Hill said.

"People compliment me on my vocals and my songs," Mr. Hanlon said. "I never considered myself to be a singer, but I'm happy that people like it. I'm pretty sure that the songs and guitar playing are good!"

Mr. Hanlon has produced one CD, "Old and New," with another in the works. His songs are also available on www.reverbnation.com, for listening and download. His Nail Care and Repair for Guitarists video on YouTube has over 20,000 hits. It's a tutorial that describes how to get a great right-hand sound on the guitar. The technique uses glue, acrylic powder, and 400 sandpaper to thicken and smooth the nails. The method is simple, quick, and inexpensive. Comments routinely come in from happy players from as far away as Australia and the UK.

Leslie Bryant began performing with Mr. hanlon earlier this year. She has enjoyed considerable success the past several years performing with Paul Beck in her other group, Ergo Canto. She's a quadruple threat, bringing flute, harmonica, fiddle, and vocals to the mix. Ergo Canto has two CDs; go to www.ergocanto.org for more information.

Tom and Leslie have featured recently at Amazing Things in Framingham, Nourish in Lexington, and Emerson Umbrella in Concord. They also perform regularly at various open mics around Greater Boston.

For the Open Mic portion of Mix 'N' Music, Ms. Hill welcomes both musicians and poets. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Open Mic is from 7 to 8 and the special featured guest performs from 8 to 9. Coffee and desserts are available.
